Flagbearer of the New Patriot­ic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, says the next NPP government will introduce and implement an affordable housing scheme for all the districts across the country.

He said the introduction of the scheme would not only help to solve the accommodation chal­lenges of Ghanaians, especially government workers, but it would also create employment opportu­nities for the people.

Dr. Bawumia was addressing the chiefs and people of Drobon­so as part of his campaign tour of the Sekyere Afram Plains in the Ashanti region.

“Countries like Singapore have done, we are going to do social as well as affordable housing schemes across all the districts/Municipalities, and it is in our manifesto,” he stated.

Dr. Bawumia said his govern­ment will implement the ‘Ghana First policy’ to prioritise the use of made-in-Ghana products, especially in all government proj­ects and purchases.

“I am also going to introduce a buy-Ghana-first policy, today when government is purchasing items, we import them from out­side and that does not bring job opportunities in the country. If you want to buy school uniforms, do not go and import them from outside, and so this is the policy I am introducing, and I know it will bring a lot of jobs into the country,” he stated.

Dr Bawumia, who is also the Vice President of Ghana, called on the people of Drobonso to vote for him to help translate his vision into reality, to provide massive development of infra­structure and to implement social intervention programmes across the country.
